After all the fanfare at the EICMA in Milan, MV Agusta has now officially announced the prices of the Brutale Serie Oro, the new crown jewel within the naked line-up from Varese. The spectacular machine already received a storm of admiration at the fair — and let’s be honest: we expected it to be a lot more expensive.
Art on two wheels
The Brutale Serie Oro is MV Agusta at its best: a motorcycle that brings together art, technology and pure emotion. Built around the all-new 950 EVO three-cylinder, good for 148 hp at 11,200 rpm and 107 Nm at 8,400 rpm, the naked combines raw power with refined flexibility. Thanks to the counter-rotating crankshaft and the revised valve system, the engine not only responds faster, but also smoother — with 85% of the torque already available at 3,500 rpm.
The newly developed half-timbered/aluminum frame construction, an extended swingarm and a full Öhlins chassis provide that typical MV balance between razor-sharp agility and stability. The brakes are Brembo Hypure, the tires are Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV, and the electronics are at the level you expect from a top Italo: five driving modes, cornering ABS, traction and wheelie control, GPS security, crash detection and full MV app connectivity via a 5-inch TFT display.
Design with racing DNA
The Serie Oro edition pays tribute to MV’s glory days, with a titanium Termignoni exhaust, carbon detailing, forged wheels and the choice of Pearl Red or Silver Ago. Only 300 numbered units will be built, each with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty — something rarely seen in this segment.
Price: less intense than expected
MV Agusta is not known for modest price tags, but the Brutale Serie Oro appears remarkably “feasible” for such an exclusive machine.
– Netherlands: €30,500
– Belgium: €26,800
– Germany: €26,100
– Italy: €27,000
Officially, MV Agusta states that the Dutch price is exclusive of BPM, but judging by the price level in neighboring countries, it seems that the € 30,500 will include BPM. In any case, for this level of finish, performance and exclusivity, we honestly expected a figure that started with a four.
The Brutale Serie Oro is exactly what you hope for from MV Agusta: not a rational choice, but a machine that you buy with your heart. And this time, that heart doesn’t have to completely break at the checkout.
